Phil Ivey has been labeled as the number one poker competitor on the globe by many of the top professionals. He was born in Riverside, CA and moved to New Jersey before his first birthday. His papa taught Phil penny-ante 5-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wished to discover every little thing he possibly could about the game. He routinely told his parents that he was planning on being a professional poker player. He did not allow the detrimental comments from other people annihilate his dream of being one of the greatest poker competitors on the planet.

Phil started playing seriously after getting a false ID with the name of Jerome. He practiced his skills at the casinos in Atlantic City. The beginning few years for him were a learning experience and winning was not a regular thing at the time. Phil became known at the 2000 World Series of Poker where he achieved 2 final tables and came away with his 1st WSOP bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha event. At the last table he destroyed many of the well known pros including but not limited to "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

Phil decided to take his skills to the successive level and headed out west to Sin City. Phil continues to compete in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the greatest players in the world. Ivey credits his success to hard work and an undying love for poker. Phil says that he's picking up skills every day and is quite abashed about his accomplishments. He admits to making errors in each game of poker and constantly strives to get better.

Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big-time tournaments, he prefers winning cash games on a normal basis.
